With this in mind, it will be of benefit to me to pick briefs I feel will enhance my knowledge and/or skills. It will be an opportunity to work in a different way and test my confidence in these areas.
For my individual practice, these are the lists of points I needs to keep in mind:
- How do you balance what you want to do, design or produce with what the brief requires?
- Do the briefs offer enough breadth and scope for the development of a range of responses whilst at the same time allowing you to focus your practice?
- What are the realistic timescales for completing the brief? Are you working to these?
- Have you clearly identified what the problem is before you start?
- Where is the challenge in the brief and what will you get out of doing it?
- What do you need to present and how will you present it?
Responsive will give me more creative freedom and the chance to work on things i'm genuinely interested in. This may make me take on more than i will be able to get finished, so in relation to the first point, it's important that I make realistic goals within the briefs i choose and be careful not to get carried away.
In response to the second point, part of the challenge of this module is to ensure I produce a significant body of work that utilises the time efficiently and effectively, meaning I dont aim to produce to little work or too much work. I also need to be able to display my ability to respond to deadlines and within different time scales and the development of different ideas.
In terms of timescales, it is important to manage my time effectively to make sure I am able to meet deadlines and stick to timescales. Part of this will be working on my time management skills and being realistic with how long it will take to carry out a certain task.
To make my graphic responses successful, it will be important to identify a problem at the start of each brief in order to guide and influence my ideas, this means at the end of each brief i should end up with a piece of work that resolved the problem and answers the brief successfully.
The whole point of responsive is to respond to briefs that will be of value to us in the long run, so in relation to the second point it is important to try pick briefs that are new/different to what I have done before. The challenge for me within this brief will be time management and being able to realistically estimate how long certain tasks will take to complete. Where possible i would like to create a graphic response which is different to what i have done before ensuring i can develop new skills.
At the end of these briefs i will aim to have completed and fully resolved graphic pieces. As I have not chosen the briefs yet I dont know specifically what I will need to present my work or how I will present it but with all pieces of work to complete, i would like to display it using my social media in order to promote myself. So at a minimum i will need a social media platform (which i already have) and digital versions of my work.
My personalised aims for this responsive module will be:
Improvement of time management skills
Development of new or existing skills
